Welcome to June Stats.
June 21st and 22nd was Amazon Prime Day where 7/10 fastest deals to the front page were for Amazon. It was also our yearly treasure hunt.
Our Instagram is now pushing a good bit of traffic to OzBargain but I've discovered that there are a few #OzBargain videos on TikTok. Like this one from the owner of Sydney Luggage showing businesses how to post a deal or this one queueing up to buy an ALDI dryer. Seems Instagram is heading towards promoting Reels over photos so may need to think of some bargain videos.
